I just installed opensuse 10.1 on my Dell D820 with centrino wireless. It works great on my work wireless/wired network. A hotel wireless network worked using NetworkManager, very nice. But my home network, my Belkin wireless AP/router, only works half-way. I just can't figure it out. I get the DHCP, /etc/resolv.conf is fixed up, but _no DNS_. It just will not reslove any names and I have to use Windows at home all the time (crap!). Here are some tests I did, any help is appreciated... air:~ # traceroute 68.230.242.25 traceroute to 68.230.242.25 (68.230.242.25), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets 1 72.204.0.1 (72.204.0.1) 39.833 ms 84.148 ms 123.279 ms 2 70.182.122.81 (70.182.122.81) 164.551 ms 204.646 ms 223.926 ms 3 70.182.120.53 (70.182.120.53) 246.128 ms 242.495 ms 70.182.120.145 (70.182.120.145) 239.993 ms 4 70.183.71.49 (70.183.71.49) 236.488 ms 232.773 ms 47.034 ms 5 68.230.242.25 (68.230.242.25) 45.589 ms 112.184 ms 199.172 ms air:~ # cat /etc/resolv.conf ### BEGIN INFO # # Modified_by: NetworkManager # Process: /usr/bin/NetworkManager # Process_id: 2884 # ### END INFO search ks.cox.net nameserver 68.230.242.25 nameserver 68.230.242.30 nameserver 68.12.16.30 air:~ # ifconfig eth1 eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:18:DE:17:4A:0C inet addr:192.168.2.5 Bcast:192.168.2.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::218:deff:fe17:4a0c/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:9656 errors:0 dropped:15 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:764 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:212919 (207.9 Kb) TX bytes:60571 (59.1 Kb) Interrupt:177 Base address:0x6000 Memory:dcfff000-dcffffff air:~ # netstat -r Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface 192.168.2.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 loopback * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo default 192.168.2.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth1 air:~ # nslookup www.cox.net ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

The only thing that come to mind immediately is the setup in the Belkin. Is it possible that have the number of clients that can connect limited? I'm assuming that you have more than one 'puter connecting to the Belkin at home.

Thanks for the response. Yes, the Belkin works great with other laptops (Mac/Windows). It even works well with my laptop when booted into Windows. Maybe I just need to memorize the IP address of the servers I need :) I've got another AP that's a 802.11b (not a g), I'll hook that one up and try it. James
